As I said in a previous post, most (if not all) states & municipalities have a separate crime for "drug abuse" or "drug use".

If Rush was abusing these drugs then he broke the applicable law(s).

My understanding is that not many people are charged with just that crime. Rather, they are tacked on by prosecutors to other related crimes such as possession, etc. so that, soon, a person in such trouble has multiple charges against them.
